An abundant and low toxicity iron catalyst has enabled regioselective annulation of alkenes with α-halocarboxylic acids and their derivatives. The reaction proceeds smoothly without any additional ligands, bases, and additives to afford a variety of γ-lactones in good yields. A proposed reaction pathway through radical annulation is supported by some mechanistic studies, involving radical clock and
Addition of carboxylic acid dianions appears to be a potential alternative to the use of aluminium enolates for nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides. These conditions require the use of a sub-stoichiometric amount of amine (10% mol) for dianiongeneration and the previous activation of the epoxide with LiCl. Yields are good, with high regioselectivity, but the use of styrene oxide led, unexpectedly

enantioselective one‐pot synthesis of important building blocks, α‐chiral γ‐keto esters, has been developed by combining a quinine‐catalyzed Michael addition of malononitrile to trans‐enones followed by magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP) oxidation. These synthons proved to be useful reagents for a simple access to challenging cis‐α,γ‐disubstituted γ‐butyrolactones in good diastereoselectivity and

herein report the photoinduced intermolecular umpolung addition of aromaticketones/aldehydes with α,β-unsaturated esters via ketyl radical intermediates. Following an intramolecular transesterification, a variety of γ-lactone derivatives are readily accessed. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate the significant role of Hantzsch ester, which serves both as the electron and proton donor.

A nickel-catalyzed diastereoselective alkylative three-component coupling of 1,3-diene and aldehyde with organoboron or organosilicon reagents has been realized. The diastereoselectivity was dramatically changed depending on the class of organometallic reagents. The reaction using ArB(OH)2 in the presence of PPh3 afforded 1,3-syn-substituted 4-penten-1-ol derivative as a single diastereomer. On the
